(reposted this - I think I put in the wrong location first time...)
Hi - I am new to this forum...couple of questions. Our facility is running Exchange 2000 and has recently purchased some Motorola Q's for e-mail. Are there instructions anywhere for setting up Exchange 2000 for mobile devices. I have found instructions for 2003 and I am pretty sure it will work with 2000 but I just can't find the information on it. Can anyone help out getting my corporate e-mail to my Q?

Also, I am fairly new to this organizationa and would like to update some things. I am thinking about taking an Exchange 2007 class that is being offered locally - it is a 3 day class. If all goes well I would look at updgrading Exchange 2000 to 2007. Or is that to big of a jump, should I look at updating to 2003 first? Sidenote - we also have Cisco Call Manager 5.1 with unified messaging so whichever route I go would also need to work with that as does Exchange 2000.

Thanks for all your assistance.
Chris

Far as I know, there is no such animal for Exchange 2000 within Exchange 2000 itself. If where-ever you purchased your phone says that they have some kind of third party add-on specifically for Exchange 2000, that would be the only way to do it. Otherwise, no can do.

Now, as to your other question. Just so happens I'm currently sitting in an Exchange 2007 class right now. Exchange 2003 looks quite a bit like Exchange 2000. Oh, some things have been moved around in the Exchange Management Console but looks wise, they're really close. And it functions pretty much the same way too. (Except, of course, that they added the Exchange Mobile stuff.) On the other hand, Exchange 2007 looks.. waaaaaay different. Plus it's 64 bit so you also really need to install it on 64 bit Windows. (You can use it on regular 32 bit Windows but if you ever have a problem, Microsoft is gonna tell you "we don't support that" and you're left hanging in the wind). So, in my mind, if you're thinking of upgrading, go to Exchange 2003. It's not as pricey, it allows you to use your mobile phone to read email, there isn't that big a change to the Exchange utils, etc. etc.

Hope that answered your questions! :)
